Association between blood glucose variability and coronary plaque instability in patients with acute coronary syndromes

Conclusions: Among all glucose indicators studied, only higher blood glucose variability was an independent determinant of increased lipid and decreased fibrous contents with larger plaque burden, suggesting blood glucose variability as one of the important factors related to coronary plaque vulnerability.
